Q1 :

(i)  Calculate the number of electrons which will together weigh one gram.

(ii)  Calculate the mass and charge of one mole of electrons.

Answer :

(i)  Mass of one electron = 9.10939 × 10–31  kg

Number of electrons that weigh 9.10939 × 10–31 kg = 1 Number of electrons that will weigh 1 g = (1 × 10–3 kg)

= 0.1098 × 10–3 + 31

= 0.1098 × 1028

= 1.098 × 1027

(ii)  Mass of one electron = 9.10939 × 10–31  kg

Mass of one mole of electron = (6.022 × 1023) × (9.10939 ×10–31 kg)

= 5.48 × 10–7 kg

Charge on one electron = 1.6022 × 10–19 coulomb

Charge on one mole of electron = (1.6022 × 10–19 C) (6.022 × 1023)

Q2 :

(ii)  Find (a) the total number and (b) the total mass of neutrons in 7 mg of 14C. (Assume that mass of a neutron = 1.675 x 10-27kg).

(iii)  Find (a) the total number and (b) the total mass of protons in 34 mg of NH3at STP. Will the answer change if the temperature and pressure are changed?

Answer :

(i)  Number of electrons present in 1 molecule of methane (CH4)

{1(6) + 4(1)} = 10

Number of electrons present in 1 mole i.e., 6.023 × 1023 molecules of methane

= 6.022 × 1023  × 10 = 6.022 × 1024

(ii)  (a) Number of atoms of 14C in 1 mole= 6.023 × 1023

Since 1 atom of 14C contains (14 – 6) i.e., 8 neutrons, the number of neutrons in 14 g of 14C is (6.023 × 1023) ×8. Or, 14 g of 14C contains (6.022 × 1023 × 8) neutrons.

= 2.4092 × 1021

(b) Mass of one neutron = 1.67493 × 10–27  kg Mass of total neutrons in 7 g of 14C

= (2.4092 × 1021) (1.67493 × 10–27 kg)

= 4.0352 × 10–6 kg

(iii)  (a) 1 mole of NH3 = {1(14) + 3(1)} g of NH3

= 17 g of NH3

= 6.022× 1023 molecules of NH3

Total number of protons present in 1 molecule of NH3

= {1(7) + 3(1)}

= 10

Number of protons in 6.023 × 1023 molecules of NH3

= (6.023 × 1023) (10)

= 6.023 × 1024

⇒ 17 g of NH3 contains (6.023 × 1024) protons. Number of protons in 34 mg of NH3

= 1.2046 × 1022

(b) Mass of one proton = 1.67493 × 10–27 kg Total mass of protons in 34 mg of NH3

= (1.67493 × 10–27 kg) (1.2046 × 1022)

= 2.0176 × 10–5  kg

The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in an atom is independent of temperature and pressure conditions. Hence, the obtained values will remain unchanged if the temperature and pressure is changed.

Hence, the number of protons in the element i.e., x is 35.

Since the atomic number of an atom is defined as the number of protons present in its nucleus, the atomic number of the given element is 35.

The atomic symbol of the element is .

Q44 :

An ion with mass number 56 contains 3 units of positive charge and 30.4% more neutrons than electrons. Assign the symbol to this ion.

Answer :

Let the number of electrons present in ion

∴ Number of neutrons in it = x + 30.4% of x = 1.304 x

Since the ion is tripositive,

⇒ Number of electrons in neutral atom = x + 3

∴ Number of protons in neutral atom = x + 3 Given,

∴ Number of protons = x + 3 = 23 + 3 = 26

The symbol of the ion

Q45 :

Arrange the following type of radiations in increasing order of frequency: (a) radiation from microwave oven

(b) amber light from traffic signal (c) radiation from FM radio (d) cosmic rays from outer space and (e) X-rays.

Answer :

The increasing order of frequency is as follows:

Radiation from FM radio < amber light < radiation from microwave oven < X- rays < cosmic rays The increasing order of wavelength is as follows:

Q46 :

Nitrogen laser produces a radiation at a wavelength of 337.1 nm. If the number of photons emitted is 5.6 x 1024, calculate the power of this laser.

Answer :

Power of laser = Energy with which it emits photons

Power   Where,

N = number of photons emitted h = Planck's constant

c = velocity of radiation

λ = wavelength of radiation

Substituting the values in the given expression of Energy (E):

E

= 0.3302 × 107 J

= 3.33 × 106 J

Q47 :

Neon gas is generally used in the sign boards. If it emits strongly at 616 nm, calculate (a) the frequency of emission, (b) distance traveled by this radiation in 30 s (c) energy of quantum and (d) number of quanta present if it produces 2 J of energy.

Answer :

Wavelength of radiation emitted = 616 nm = 616 × 10–9 m (Given)

(a) 

Frequency of emission

Where,

c = velocity of radiation

λ = wavelength of radiation

Substituting the values in the given expression of :

= 4.87 × 108 × 109 × 10–3 s–1

ν = 4.87 × 1014 s–1
